I'm now with Nigel waiting to check in
We're now inside the transit area
We're waiting for the plane
We're going to have a bit of
a bit of a bite first and then we will head
over to the check in area
Having a bit of food before we board the plane
The plane leaves at 6.50. I think boarding time is 5.50 Still got 1 hour to kill at least
He's wearing slippers
I'm wearing shoes and pants
Evidently they are boarding already
It's a really small plane
That is the cockpit
And that is the toilet
Cockpit. Toilet
Just came from the arrival area
We've just reached the pitstop for today.
We've just arrived from our flight and we'll be heading down for a bit of rest before we
head off to Mulah tomorrow morning on another ferry
This is the Male fish market
One of the oldest tackle shops in Male
We're trying out the new cafe
This is Park House, our stay in Male for today before we head to Mulah tomorrow
We do have two separate beds
But I say separate...
We'll move this apart maybe later
Possibly. Probably. I hope so
It is sufficient. It's more than sufficient.
It has everything we need so far. Even has a TV. So it's all good.
The internet is extremely slow
Ah. It appears to have jammed as well. There we go.
How is the bed?
Ya the bed is quite hard
But it will be sufficient for one night I think
He's just noticed the TV.
And can we please separate the beds, thank you
It's almost midnight now, local time
Singapore time is about almost 3am
We're about to head to bed
Beds have been separated
And wake up early tomorrow morning
maybe about 6.30, 6.15
Have an early breakfast
Maybe if I'm lucky I'll get a few
drone flights around here
if not I can come back on Friday
and then we'll head to take a ferry, a 3 hour ride, to Mulah. So...
That 5 hour journey in the plane was quite long.
3 hour journey in the boat might be, might feel longer
But at least we'll be able to see what's happening, as opposed to the plane which was quite cramped
And we were in the aisle seats
Three by three
Right in the front as well, third row from the front. It was very noisy
So on the way back we'll see if we can change it up maybe sit at the back. See if it's quieter
We can get some rest as well. We'll be arriving in Singapore on Saturday at 4am
So... It's gonna be a long day for that one. So hopefully we can get some shuteye on the plane
So it's 6.15am now. 6.30. It's light out actually
There is a bit of light, quite a bit of light
So the brain is a bit confused with the change in time but the body is not
So we've had about 6 hours or slightly less of sleep
We were awoken by the simultaneous alarm clocks of all our phones
which seem to have synced up their clocks
So that was quite odd.
We're just gonna have a bit of breakfast once it's ready
Maybe have a proper shower before we head off
We've only got about one hour to get everything ready to leave. So...
So evidently this is neither one of ours. Just left here in the room. So...
This is our breakfast
Morning, it's 7.15 now we're having a bit of breakfast
In about 15 minutes we have to leave for the ferry
Then we head over to Mulah on a 3 hour ferry ride
We're heading to the jetty now which brings us to the ferry that will ferry us to Mulah
It's a busy morning for all Maldivians cause it's a work day today
So you can see the traffic is fairly heavy
So now we are at the harbour area. This is where we'll board the ferry to head over to Mulah
So, just have a look around
It's quite a pretty place, quite decent. The water is very clear
Boats don't seem too run down. Looks quite cool
Buzz buzz buzzzz [drone noises]
So the boat was delayed for about 45 minutes to fix the propellor. But
it's fixed now a bit early. About 20 minutes
I just got the drone up for a tiny bit before we had to leave
So now we're heading for the boat and onward to Mulah
So the ferry is going to leave in about 2 minutes officially
Then we'll have the 3 hour journey straight over to Mulah. Then we'll have a closer look there.
So we have a customised railing for Bazookas. Very friendly for fishermen
This is our room
Second floor from the top. It's actually the third floor
The one upstairs is just a roof terrace with a bit of shade
The sun is unbearably hot though
Not as bad as Tekong says Nigel
I feel that it is actually worse than Tekong
Power sockets... We have one there
One behind the bed here
We had to separate the beds
We?
And I believe that's all
Oh it's the salty fighter
With price tag some more!
Oh the salty fighter broke
That's not a good sign
Ok
So this is the jetty that is somewhat in front of our guesthouse
We have to walk just a bit, maybe about 1 minute, then we reach here
So, I probably won't be fishing too much right now
I've got a lot of gear to use, record and note down everything for you guys
So we're gonna check out the boat now
It looks pretty similar to what we'll be using tomorrow
So everything was a bit rushed today but
We are looking good
Water is exshept
Water is exceptionally clear
Blue waters
It's quite an amazing sight actually, to be honest
It literally is quite blue
It's a bit odd but it's quite cool
So this is the type of boat that we're using tomorrow
Very similar to this
A lot of parrot fish
Is it? You saw is it?
er yea
We saw Parrotfish. Nigel saw Parrotfish
Nigel just crossed lines with this guy and once Nigel untangled his line
he caught a fish. Tiny little black fish I'm not sure what it is
Definitely a coral species
Nigel using his rubber right now. I'm using a crankbait
Not much luck with the normal baits
Our bait presentation is actually not too bad
I wouldn't say it's the best in the world but it's not too bad
The water is pretty clear so bait presentation is an important thing
We're just not getting the distance that we want
Nigel had a miss just now. A red snapper I believe
One of the red snappers. A Red Bass
Tail just got bitten off. Tail got bitten off
What fish was it?
No idea what fish it was
So looks like we're getting results now
We didn't have much luck with our lures
So now maybe we'll move to rubbers
So we just came back from fishing
One was at the jetty and the other was at the beach through a hidden path
that one of Ali's friends brought us to
The mosquitoes there were insane
I mean they were actually swarming around me and just biting nonstop.
That was insane
Oh and then there were the multiple incidents where the crows kept attacking my drone
I really don't know why but I managed to scare them off everytime
So the fish weren't really biting
Nigel managed to get a garfish
and 1 other fish
I forgot what it was
That was at the second spot that Ali's friend brought us to
So that was much better but the waves were quite interesting
They just leapt over the sand beach
and stole quite a few slippers
But it returned them after a while
So tonight at about 8pm Ali's friend has invited us to join him
fishing at a spot where there are supposedly quite a few GTs
So we will try that out tonight
We're gonna catch the sunset now
There is little to no traffic on the Mulah island
There are a few cars and motorbikes though
Just straight down this road is the harbour area
This will be our boat tomorrow
We just came back from taking photos of the sunset. Videos of the sunset
Playing with the drone there
Hopefully you like that small bit
This is the community broadcast
They are watching Maldivian Idol tonight
So it's on a projector screen and they have all the seats here
Now we are going to try out night fishing
We just saw three stingrays swimming around here
There is no issue with catching them but most of the locals
don't eat stingray and they do not have sambal
So Nigel just caught a small baby GT while I was setting up my drone
So that's quite cool
Fwah. Sambal Kangkong ah?
Is it Kangkong?
Alright man!
Yea my favourite
Singaporeans eat a lot of Kangkong
A lot of Thai people they do rice and Kangkong - enough.
Ya man
Bro do you accept US dollars?
Yes
So we've just come back from having dinner
It's about almost 10 o'clock right now local time
For Singapore time it's almost 1AM
We're gonna fish tomorrow from about 5.30 in the morning
to about 8.30
And then we'll head back, have a bit of breakfast
And just look around before we head off again in the evening at about maybe...
I'm not sure what time actually...
Before we head out in the evening again
for another spot of fishing
So right now we're just trying to get all our tackle ready for tomorrow
Hopefully we get some big fish
No idea what Shawn is setting up at the window
Seems like we're holed up fighting some zombie resistance
